“A cascade of information can easily lead to the wrong conclusion. It works like this: Someone has a bit of wrong information, but they are confident about it so they spout it out. A second person who is unsure decides that the first person must be right, and chooses to go along with their theory. A third person who may have had a right answer, then changes his mind because he believes the two others must know more than him. And on it goes as each person assumes the others can’t be wrong.” – Dr. Joseph Mercola
